1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe inhibition of hippocampal neurogenesis is associated with cognitive impairment in a variety of diseases, which are often accompanied by neuroinflammation. Our preliminary results revealed that the number of CD8 + T lymphocytes infiltrating the hippocampus of mice that underwent major abdominal surgery increased significantly and contributed to the inhibition of hippocampal neurogenesis and cognitive impairment. However, which stage of hippocampal neurogenesis is affected and the specific mechanisms involved remain unclear.

methodsWe isolated hippocampal neural stem cells (NSCs) and peripheral CD8 + T lymphocytes from C57BL/6 mice and then used a transwell coculture system to mimic the state in which peripheral CD8 + T lymphocytes infiltrated the parenchyma but did not directly contact NSCs.

resultsThe results showed that activated peripheral CD8 + T lymphocytes inhibited the proliferation of NSCs in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of CD8 + T lymphocytes on NSC proliferation may be achieved through the secretion of cytokines, especially IFN-γ, as administration of IFN-γ neutralizing antibodies could attenuate this effect. Adding IFN-γ directly to the coculture system also inhibited NSC proliferation, even without activating T cells. Additionally, the JAK2/STAT1 pathway in NSCs was activated by activated peripheral CD8 + T lymphocytes or exogenous IFN-γ, and a JAK2-specific inhibitor reversed the inhibitory effect of activated peripheral CD8 + T lymphocytes on NSC proliferation.

conclusionThese results demonstrated that activated peripheral CD8 + T lymphocytes can indirectly inhibit the proliferation of hippocampal NSCs by secreting IFN-γ and subsequently activating the JAK/STAT signaling pathway in NSCs. Our study may help to better elucidate the regulatory role of neuroinflammation in hippocampal neurogenesis, especially in some pathological states.
